@abbadon – mcubedb was right… that was the piece of Dagda’s club Sif let Thor “borrow”.

@mcubedb – Looks like Theala gave some pretty good answers there. The Alternity game system also used stun damage. The whole concept behind stun damage is to handle situations where a character might be armored up (wearing a bulletproof vest for example) but still feels it when they get hit by something powerful. Say a person gets shot but is wearing a vest so it doesn’t do any major damage… but they’ll still know they got shot as the impact against the vest could knock the wind out of them (bruising them up in the process or even cracking some ribs if it was a high caliber gun).

And on a separate note… hooray for gaming geeks (yeah, Seth and I are both long-time gaming geeks)!

Attacks of Opportunity arise when you are standing or moving too close to an enemy, while doing something that keeps your full attention from your defense. Under these circumstances, your opponent gets a free attack. = ) (gamer grrls UNITE!)

I love this strip, artistic talent meets genuine knowledge of pantheons, and of big families.
